01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located in the heart of Beckley, West Virginia, Cook Out delivers an unbeatable fast-food experience with a southern American twist that expertly blends barbecue, classic chicken, and juicy hamburgers. This lively spot at 1346 N Eisenhower Dr offers not only quick eats but a true celebration of flavor and comfort food staples that make every meal memorable.

From the first bite, Cook Out’s menu sparks delight. Picture sinking your teeth into their signature char-grilled chicken Becue Style, infused with smoky undertones that coax out the rich, tender flavors of perfectly grilled poultry. For those craving something heartier, their massive Small Burger, priced at just $3.39, promises a juicy, satisfying mouthful complemented by crispy onion rings or hushpuppies on the side — each side bursting with a golden crunch and just the right balance of seasoning.

One cannot overlook the variety of quesadillas and sides, such as the savory Chicken or Beef Quesadilla at $2.39, which boasts a melty, gooey interior that’s both cheesy and hearty. If you prefer a lighter bite, the Bacon Ranch Wrap wraps smoky bacon and cool ranch dressing into a fresh, flavorful fold that’s quick to satisfy. Add a refreshing Coke or bottled water to complete the experience with perfect pairing.

The atmosphere inside Cook Out is casual and buzzing with a friendly, unpretentious energy that welcomes families, old friends, and newcomers alike. Customers like KIDHLR Garage have praised it as a "great place to eat and catch up," making it a go-to spot for relaxing social meals. Anthony Rogers described the service as "FAST AMAZING service" with food that was "HOT" and "more filling than I anticipated"—a testament to both quality and value.

Cook Out’s distinctly Southern charm is further highlighted by their take on traditional hot dogs, served with unique twists like Mustard Relish Onion and Gular Spicy Style preparations, staying fresh and satisfying in new paper tray holders, a thoughtful upgrade noted by attentive regular Don Fox.

Whether you’re craving hearty double chocolate desserts or a classic Reese’s Cup milkshake to finish, Cook Out ensures a complete taste adventure from first bite to last lick. Michelle Daily (Chel), a devoted patron, sums it up perfectly by calling it “our now regular go to place” for “the best burgers I’ve found” in Beckley.

If you’re passing through or local to Beckley, Cook Out isn’t just fast food—it’s a flavorful, well-crafted experience where every dish is packed with personality, authenticity, and the kind of comfort that makes you want to come back for more.

I stopped and got a hotdog and they are now putting them in paper tray holders...much better and if run out of holders, they shouldn't serve hotdogs in foil like before.

Walking in was an interesting experience. Definitely not how I pictured the inside. Made me feel like I was about to embark on an amazing food journey. The pictures of the food does not do this place justice. The portions are big and you get your money's worth. As for the flavor, when ordering, the person taking the order mumbled into the microphone what I ordered and it was then that I knew this food was going to be top notch flavor. The smell of our food cooking was like heaven. And for under 20$ we got, a cheeseburger, fries, hush puppies, a hotdog, chicken sandwich, and white cheddar bites. If I could live here, I would. But, my doctor wouldn't like it hah!

The char grilled chicken had a great smoky flavor the French fries were good and so was the Cole slaw (not full of cream, sugar and celery). The peach cobbler shake was tasty would take this place over McDonald’s any day.

We stopped by this cookout today for lunch on our road trip from Indiana back to Virginia. Can't say enough good things about this place! The staff was so kind, the restaurant itself and the bathrooms were spotless, and the food was delicious as always. They were very understanding as well when my son dropped his soda and it exploded all over the floor. Thank you cookout!
